Looking at travel late this year, I am a BA Silver traveling PSA-LHR-IAD (Euro Traveler connecting to World Traveler Plus). I will have my wife and two children (ages 7 and 11) traveling on the same flights.
I understand I can guest my wife into the Galleries Lounge during our layover at LHR T5, but how about the two accompanied children? Will they be allowed entry as well?

If I have two separate bookings, long haul first, and economy on the domestic, can I use the Concorde room in LHR?(supposing post-covid have the same rules are pre-covid)
e.g.
JFK -> LHR (First)
then
LHR -> EDI (Economy)
on a separate ticket on the same day.

Yes that would be fine. You can use the CCR in JFK and at LHR. You will need to show your inbound F bp at LHR to get access so keep hold of it.

I recall a number of years back (2016?) that a domestic booking into the "Y" fare class and possibly "B" allowed access to Galleries. Am I right in saying this has now stopped? I seem to recall it tied in with the changes to domestic bookings being classed as ET.
Thanks in advance.

Alaska Airlines lounge access
Good afternoon,
I currently have flights with Alaska Airlines all around the US west coast in January. I have only just realised that AS are now full oneworld members but I'm having trouble trying to work out which, if any, lounges I should have access too.
I will be visiting SEA, LAX, SFO and probably PDX all domestically. The AS website only seems to offer access if AA or AS earned status and on certain routes. I'm BAEC Gold so may have a problem with that.
Has anyone had any recent experience with AS or any ideas?
Cheers
AQ

BA.com, this thread and the covering letter enclosing my CCR card all say access to the CCR lounge requires one to be 'flying with British Airways' or travelling 'on a BA flight'. Does anyone know whether flying in F on an AA flight LHR-JFK (which I think currently goes from T5) under a BA codeshare qualifies for access? Thanks in advance.
